## Our verdict

### Reasons to buy

-   Completely waterproof.
-   Can hold more than it looks.
-   Features a hydration bladder and protected water opening for the drinking hose.
-   Uses reflective material which makes you visible in traffic whenever you use it as your bike bag.

### Things to consider

-   It only features one huge compartment.
-   Lacks organization.
-   Lackluster back padding.

## What reviewers said

-   "Completely waterproof, very comfortable - I loaded it up with eight liters of beer in glass bottles which is about all you can fit in and it sat very comfortable on the bike ride home, it got a stiff lightly flexible back so when empty you hardly notice it and when packed pressure is distributed, plus it's not sack shaped so if you fill it everything won't be positioned in the arch of your back. It costs a lot but if it lasts it will be well worth the money. Definitely the best backpack I ever owned or tried"
-   "Great backpack, awesome in the rain or sun. I ride my bike with this to work every day 12 miles total. I fit my camo uniform, lunch, full rain gear inside, and a hard hat with the helmet strap on the back. I've been using this daily for the past few months and see no wear or tear, the buckles and straps stay put for the most part and the plastic backing is still stiff."

## Reviews from around the web

**Ortlieb Packman Pro2 25L hydration pack review**
[www.mbr.co.uk](https://www.mbr.co.uk/reviews/products/ortlieb-packman-pro2-25l-hydration-pack-review)

> We got this pack to test as a pure bike-packing option, rather than an all-round trail performer. It’s designed for carrying loads and keeping them dry, rather than organising kit, and, we’ve since found out, it does this rather well.

**Review: Ortlieb Pacman Pro 2**
[www.edcforums.com](https://www.edcforums.com/threads/review-ortlieb-pacman-pro-2.129437/)

> All in all, the Pacman Pro 2 seems to be rugged and solidly built. After two years of rather hard use, it is still going strong. This is probably due to the rather simple construction and rugged material.
